The Federal Republic of Calahy is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Federal President Caroll Eigen with an iron fist, and renowned for its daily referendums, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.999 billion Calahians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Darmschtadt. The average income tax rate is 75.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Calahyian economy, worth 334 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 167,292 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anything is permissible when wearing latex gloves, the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals, and welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Calahy's national animal is the Double-headed eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Protestantism.

Calahy is ranked 6,439^th in the world and 126^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 7,803.1 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
